Three ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Cottesmore after the Cottesmore hunt:
The first Cottesmore, launched in 1917, was a Hunt-class minesweeper. She served in World War I and was paid off and sold in 1919.
The second Cottesmore (L78), launched in 1940, was a Hunt-class destroyer. She served in World War II, was sold to the Egyptian Navy in 1950 being renamed Port Said, and served into the 1980s as a training ship.
The third Cottesmore (M32), launched in 1982 and decommissioned in 2005, was a mine countermeasure vessel of another Hunt class. Prince Andrew, Duke of York commanded HMS Cottesmore from April 1993 until November 1994.

Cottesmore is a village in the north of the county of Rutland in the East Midlands of England. In terms of population it is the largest village in Rutland, and the third-largest settlement after Oakham and Uppingham. This is due in part to the presence of RAF Cottesmore.
